The Piano Lesson is set in Pittsburgh in 1936, with all acting taking place in the house of Doaker Charles. A 137-year-old, upright piano, decorated with totems in the manner of African sculpture, dominates the parlor.
As the act progresses, Doaker tells the story of the piano and we learn why Berniece is so attached to it. Their family history was carved into the piano by Berniece and Boy Willie's great grandfather, while he was still in slavery, and their great grandmother and grandfather were traded for it
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep." The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."
We Care About the Victims of Hurricane Dorian Bahamas
We, the United Christian Wesleyan Methodist Church Diocese of South Florida, are reminded by Scripture that in the face of disaster and depression, unmitigated suffering and unrelieved pain, we are called as Christians and people of goodwill to offer compassionate love to those who experience pain and suffering. We recall the words of Holy Scripture that provides guidance to us as we seek to be a healing balm and soothing salve to those who are hurting and in need. “This is what the Lord Almighty said, ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor.’” (Zechariah 7: 9-10a, NIV). Also, the Apostle Paul declared to the Christian community in Colossae, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” (Colossians 3:12, NIV).
Thus, we mourn over those who lost their lives in the devastation of Hurricane Dorian, especially our brothers and sisters in the Bahamas who are experiencing “an unimaginable living nightmare” after Dorian unleashed unprecedented destruction upon Abaco and Grand Bahama Islands. We stand in solidarity with thousands of people in the Bahamas who are facing the loss of loved ones, flood damage, homelessness, physical deprivation, and economic hardship. We also pray for the healing of any psychic disorientation and emotional trauma that our Bahamian brothers and sisters are presently enduring.
Therefore, the United Christian Wesleyan Methodist Diocese of South Florida, is calling on all people of faith and conscience to pray for Prime Minister Hubert Alexander Minnis, Parliament, National Emergency Management Agency of the Bahamas, all military personnel and humanitarian organizations who are aiding those impacted by the storm. Grant them wisdom and strength as they help initiate the rescue of those who are displaced, relief to those who are suffering, and the rebuilding of the country of the Bahamas. We further call upon all to demonstrate what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called, “excessive altruism.” The need to go beyond pity and be moved to a sympathy that allows us to feel for those in need- their painful predicament, their personal agony, and profound burdens. Excessive altruism also means that we will go beyond the call of duty to help bind the wounds that have been inflicted upon the people of the Bahamas. Finally, we ask our pastors to raise awareness of this critical humanitarian need, partner with local groups who are providing Disaster Relief for the Bahamas and provide leadership in raising desperately needed material and financial support to be sent to the Bahamas as a sign of Christian love and compassion.
To this end we are in partnership with several churches and relief organizations to render aid in a timely and effective manner. They are listed as an addendum to this letter.
